Drawing and energies

 

When I think in the future, I see a girl (Yes, a girl, because I still can’t feel me like a woman haha) who have her own studio or workshop, illustrating all day, making things with her own hands in her own printing house like stationary, prints, stickers, pins, keychains with her designs and others designs, but also designing clothes like dresses or t-shirts, and plushies, doing drawing comissions too. And in the other hand, having her own altar for tarot reading with an specific schedule for that.

I’m someone who prefers doing thing indoor, I think it’s more comfortable, but sometimes drawing or reading cards in a park, connecting with nature, meditate there hearing some birds it’s nice too. I have to mention that some people prefer their tarot reading to be in person, and even sometimes in their house, everything can be discussed, but how I’ll have some special schedule it can’t be always how the client want.

About traveling, of course! In other countries the materials for everything I want to do usually is better in quality and cheaper, like paper or fabric, equipments that I probably use to draw for example like an iPad, or a Tablet, and even the tarot or oracle decks, I’ve travelled before and I’ve seen with my own eyes that there’s a lot of more options too, in everything. And, well, who don’t want to see the world? Haha!

About numbers, I’m not pretty sure… I just want to live with complete calm, have the money to buy me things, and give to others, travel not just for work, doing what I love to do: Drawing and understand energies.

If I have the possibility of studying a Major, I would like to do something in Illustration. Because, like I said before, that’s what I want to do, I love drawing, I love connect with me in my drawings, and connecting with others by them.

Obviusly drawing need a lot of study, And if I can concentrate in only that would be amazing for me and my drawings of course. Understanding better how anatomy and physics works, character design, learn better the digital programs, etc.

Here one of my illustrations!

I'm in love with design!

 

Since I was about 10 years I was pretty sure that drawing is my vocation, and that I wanted to dedicate my life into that, express my feelings in a paper, with colours and creativity.

So, I didn’t have any problem at decide what I want to study. My problem has always been that other people want something else for me.

 “You can do better than that”, “And you are sure that you want to study that?”, “You can pay rent by drawing cartoons?” “It’s so hard to find a job in design”.

Those were the kind of comment that I always got, and sometimes I still get.

Thanks to that, they make me feel so anxious the last year of school. I remember that when I was doing the exam to enter the university, I had a panic attack because of that.

But now, that i’m in my 8th semester, I can say that i’m glad to choosing what my heart was telling me, because I’m in love with design and I want to dedicate to ilustration. I want to live from what I can create! <3

One of my illustrations here!

He looks just like a dream

Have you heard of Studio Ghibli?  If not, now you will.

Studio Ghibli is a japanese animation studio that it’s known for a lot of films, specially My Neighbor Totoro, Literally their Logo have that characters that’s like a cute big racoon.

But we aren’t here to talk about My Neighbor Totoro, I’ll show you one of the best movies I’ve ever seen:

Howl’s Moving Castle.

Everything starts with Sophie. A girl who feels that she’s nos enough, and what she has is what she deserves, even if that’s not what she really wants.

One day, Howl, one of the most powerful wizards and who is known for stealing girl’s hearts, is looking for her.

She encounters with him in her way to visit her sister, and they have a beautiful bonding moment in the sky. But, upon returning home, she meets the Witch of the Waste, who puts a curse on her, making her looking like an old woman.

That’s how her adventure begin and she decides to go to the countryside in a try to break the curse, where she finds the Howl’s moving castle and go in.

There’s where she learns a lot about Howl, but at the same time she learns a lot about herself and how the curse is a reflection of that.

Japan. The land of the rising sun. My big dream.

 

I’m literally an otaku from birth, and, if you don’t know what an otaku is, basically is a person who have an obsession with something, or that’s the japan meaning. Here in occident is more relationated to an obsession with anime, manga and Japan culture in general.

And, As one of them, my travel to Japan will happen one day. I’ve planned this for years!

My perfect trip should be in spring, when all the cherry blossoms are in their most beautiful form, And I want to walk in a big park full of pastel pink in a kimono near a temple in Kyoto to go there after the walk.

Of course, I have to go to Akihabara, the anime Street, and buy a lot of stationary and anime and videogames stuff, like plushies or figures! Never forgetting the Pokemon Center and the big Gundam Robot!

Harajuku too! Take pictures of people in their amazing styles, and probably buy some dresses or shoes for me haha!

I know that I’ll feel like home there, but to be honest I would like to only be a tourist. To be honest Japan is a little bit racist with people who isn’t like them in places who “have to be” . I know a lot of people who had problems in their work or school just for that and I want to enjoy all my time there and not having big deals.

I remember it like it was yesterday

 

When I was a child, my dad make a promise to me, to go to Disneyland. He said that when I get old enough we’ll meet that amazing place. And, at 15 years old, in October 2015 we did.

I was so nervous because my parents did know NOTHING about english, basically I knew that I’ll be like a “Personal Translator”, and I was thinking “I’ll be good enough for that? What if my english level can’t be helpful?”. The Word “enough” was always on my mind, and my anxiety was growing and growing.

When we arrive there, It was… I don’t know how to describe it, just amazing. In first place, the airport, IT WAS SO HUGE. There was a lot of people of a lot of different countries, even if October is off season there, it felt like that enourmus establishment was full.

but when we reach the hotel, I noticed that there could be more people, that helped me a lot to be honest because I have trouble when there’s a lot of people in a place, so my anxiety about my english lvl got smaller.

So, we were there 10 days. And obviusly we went to fulfill the promise, to Magic Kingdom.

They received us with a performance in front of the Cinderella’s Castle. I remember all Princesses and characters of my childhood dancing and singing, even some of them said hello to me, I almost cried to be honest.

Another memorable moment was at night, we sat in a place near the castle to be able to see the Fireworks. There were a lot of Mickey’s shape, colours, and even different sounds, some of them were moving!

I’ll never forget that place. I’ve had that feel of being a child again. When they say that “Disney makes you feel magic”, it’s 100% true. And, the most important thing, I discover that my english level was enough and even better than I though, Thanks to that experience I feel so proud of me, But without a doubt, I have to keep practicing.
